IR2121 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The Infineon Technologies IR2121 is a high-speed gate driver IC designed for power MOSFET and IGBT applications. It features an integrated over-current limiting protection circuit, ensuring robust operation.

 

Key electrical specifications include a gate drive supply range of 12 to 18V, with typical turn-on and turn-off times of 150ns. The device supports logic input compatibility down to 2.5V. It also includes an error lead for fault condition indication and shutdown time programming.

 

The IR2121 is housed in an 8-Lead PDIP package, suitable for through-hole mounting. Its design incorporates latch-immune CMOS technology for reliable monolithic construction. The output driver stage is a high pulse current buffer designed to minimize cross-conduction.

 

This driver is ideal for low-side configurations, driving N-channel power MOSFETs or IGBTs. The current detection and limiting loop helps manage the current in the driven power transistor, with cycle-by-cycle shutdown programmed by an external capacitor.
